Level 2 Player

Reigning Necromancer and Dominating Necromancer

‘There are many.’

Even though they are basic skills, they were quite abundant. And among them, summon buff skills were also included.

‘As expected, it is there.’

He expected this.

‘The problem is whether it is compatible or not.’

Jin-su called out the shadow knight that was hiding its body in the shadows.

Kuuung!

The shadow knight knelt in front of Jin-su.

‘Corrupted Heart, Corrupted Armor, Black Holy Fire.’

Jin-su cast the newly acquired Reigning Necromancer buff skills targeting the shadow knight.

At that moment, ominous mana faintly rose from the shadow knight’s body and pitch-black haze flowed from the armor.

Hwareureuk!

Finally, pitch-black eye light rose like flames from inside the shadow knight’s helmet.

‘It succeeded.’

All three buffs entered normally.

‘It was possible because it is a shadow summon, I guess?’

But confirmation seemed necessary.

“Chomp! Chomp! Chomp!”

“Peck! Peck! Peck!”

Jin-su looked at Leo and Kkami who were engrossed in eating.

‘Corrupted Heart, Corrupted Armor, Black Holy Fire.’

Jin-su tried casting the Reigning Necromancer buff skills on Leo.

‘There is no change.’

Leo was still engrossed in eating as if nothing had happened. The buff did not enter.

‘Sure enough, living-type summons and non-living-type summons are different.’

Non-living-type summons are not living life forms. That was why the necromancer buff entered. On the other hand, living-type summons are living life forms, so the necromancer buff did not enter.

‘Nice.’

From Jin-su’s perspective, it was a successful test.

‘Although it is regrettable that the buff did not enter Leo, it is a result I expected to some extent.’

Also, even if the necromancer buff entered normally on Leo and Kkami who have no combat ability to begin with, great combat utility could not have been expected.

‘Summoning is a bit tricky.’

The Reigning Necromancer class is also a type of summoner, so a summon skill existed. However, there was a prerequisite condition.

‘The white must remain on the ground.’

When a life form dies, only the soul and white remain. Among them, the soul ascends and the white remains on the ground and gradually disappears.

The Army Summon, a class skill of the Reigning Necromancer, was a method of making summons using the white remaining on the ground.

‘I will have to test directly through hunting to know the result.’

He wanted to start hunting again right now, but there was one more thing he had to confirm.

Jin-su switched the status window from dark type to holy type.

Then he immediately changed class to the Dominating Necromancer.

[Using Class Change Certificate – Dominating Necromancer.]

[You have changed class to the holy-type class Dominating Necromancer.]

[Mana stats and mental power stats rise explosively.]

‘What kind of class does it have?’

Jin-su checked the Dominating Necromancer class skills.

‘There is nothing special just because it is holy type.’

Holy type and dark type only have the characteristics of the class divided.

Both can possess the same classes.

‘Still, it is a very exceptional case, though.’

Although a necromancer is said to be one branch of a summoner, it did not look like it had good compatibility with holy type at a glance.

‘The summon skill is the same?’

The Reigning Necromancer summon skill is Army Summon. But the Dominating Necromancer summon skill was also Army Summon.

‘Is it because they came out from the same dungeon?’

Jin-su checked more detailed information.

‘It is the complete opposite.’

The Reigning Necromancer makes summons using the white remaining on the ground among the soul and white. Conversely, the Dominating Necromancer makes summons using the soul that ascends among the soul and white.

‘What kind of difference is there in this?’

Honestly, whether making the soul left behind when a life form dies into a summon or making the white into a summon, he wondered what difference there was.

“Ah!”

Then he obtained one realization.

‘The Reigning Necromancer makes summons using the white, and the Dominating Necromancer makes summons using the soul.’

Then even if he hunts 1 monster, he might be able to make not 1 but 2 summons.

‘It seems possible.’

What is needed to make a summon is one of the soul and white.

‘If I make a Dominating Necromancer summon with the soul and a Reigning Necromancer summon with the white, that is all.’

Honestly, in the case of ordinary monsters, it is fine to make 2 summons using 2 monsters. But if it is the case of an out-of-spec monster like the White Drake, the circumstances are different.

‘The buffs are similar too.’

Immortal Heart, Holy Armor, Radiant Holy Fire.

These three were the summon buffs used by the Dominating Necromancer.

‘The name does not look like a necromancer buff. Dragon Tooth Soldier Summon.’

Jin-su summoned one of the White Drake’s teeth as a Dragon Tooth Soldier. And he cast the 3 buffs.

Holy mana burst out from the entire body of the Dragon Tooth Soldier and pure white light that looked splendid at a glance burst out.

Hwareureuk!

Finally, radiance rose from the two eyes of the Dragon Tooth Soldier.

‘Is this a necromancer buff?’

Perhaps because it is holy type, the buff also showed an appearance completely opposite to the dark type.

‘Then perhaps?’

Jin-su looked at Leo with expectation.

“Chomp! Chomp! Chomp!”

Leo was still out of his mind chewing and tasting the chunk of meat.

‘Immortal Heart, Holy Armor, Radiant Holy Fire.’

Jin-su tried casting the buff skills targeting Leo. However, there was still no change at all.

‘I hoped just in case. Regrettable.’

As expected, it seemed it was not a buff applied to living-type summons.

‘Now I need to test directly.’

That was the most accurate.

“Let’s start hunting again.”

“Is it over?”

At Shin Su-a’s question, Jin-su smiled and nodded.

“Yeah, I obtained something usable and am trying to confirm it once.”

“Congratulations.”

Shin Su-a said with a brightly smiling face.

“Thanks.”

Jin-su and Shin Su-a immediately started hunting.

“Nyaaaang!”

Leo’s wide-area taunt roar resounded.

Dudududu!

“Krrrr!”

“Kyaooo!”

At the same time, beast-type monsters resembling wolves, bears, and leopards swarmed in from all directions.

‘Ice Barrier, Ice Storm, Ice Explosion.’

Crack!

Kwaaaaang!

“Kyaaeng!”

“Kyaaak!”

Jin-su cleaned up the beast-type monsters using the Ice Dragon Mage skills for the first time in a long while.

‘Is it this way?’

It was not visible to the eyes. However, the existence of the soul to use the Army Summon skill was felt.

‘Then shall I try using it once? Army Summon.’

Jin-su used the skill.

Hwaaaak!

Bright light swirled and 5 summons that looked like pure white beast-type monsters revealed themselves.

‘At a glance, they are not undead monsters.’

However, they did not look like life forms either.

“They look like statues made of marble.”

At Shin Su-a’s words, Jin-su also nodded.

The summons summoned by the Dominating Necromancer were like well-made marble statues.

‘With level 2, 5 is the limit, I guess.’

Jin-su immediately switched the status window.

Pasasak!

Then the 5 summons that looked like beast-type monsters made with the holy-type class Dominating Necromancer crumbled and disappeared just like that.

Jin-su immediately judged whether the summon skill was possible.

‘It is possible.’

The existence of the white to use the summon skill was felt.

‘It is correct that they do not overlap.’

The presence of the white was felt in the place where he made a summon using the soul.

‘Army Summon.’

Jin-su used the summon skill.

Saaak!

Thick darkness gathered and 5 summons that looked like pitch-black beast-type monsters revealed themselves.

“The color is different, but they look exactly the same as the guys summoned earlier?”

“Yeah.”

At Shin Su-a’s words, Jin-su also agreed.

If the summons summoned by the Dominating Necromancer were like statues made of pure white marble, the summons summoned by the Reigning Necromancer were like statues made of black obsidian.

‘The Dominating Necromancer and Reigning Necromancer are definitely both not ordinary necromancer classes.’

The necromancers Jin-su met before regression were all dark type. And they used undead as summons. That was why Jin-su also naturally expected undead to come out as summons.

But it was not.

‘Well, to begin with, the fact that the name necromancer is attached to holy type was strange.’

Necromancy is one branch of summoning. However, its characteristics were specialized in dark type rather than holy type.

‘Since it uses the soul and white of the dead, it is not a wrong expression to say necromancer.’

Jin-su could clearly realize the fact that the classes Dominating Necromancer and Reigning Necromancer he obtained differed in trajectory from ordinary necromancer classes.

‘I was also worried that the power of the holy-type Dominating Necromancer would fall.’

For now, looking at the appearances of the summoned summons, there seemed no need to worry about that.

‘Well, the accurate thing will have to be tested for combat power.’

Jin-su changed the holy-type status window back to dark type again.

‘Army Summon.’

When Jin-su cast the skill, the 5 summons that looked like beast-type monsters that had disappeared earlier revealed themselves again.

‘The fact that there is no cooldown is to my liking.’

Shadow summon is powerful, but the existence of the cooldown was a bother, while Army Summon did not have a cooldown itself.

‘Then shall I finish the test?’

There is no need to like it unconditionally just because there are advantages. The Dragon Tooth Soldier Summon skill also has no cooldown. However, if the teeth of dragon-type monsters that become materials are destroyed with permanent damage, summoning is no longer possible.

‘There is a need to confirm if this is also like that.’

Also, a test of the power of the Army Summon skill that is only level 2 was needed.

“Please.”

Jin-su stroked Leo’s head. In response, Leo who had been continuously eating and clearing meat raised his head as if he would earn his keep.

“Nyaaaang!”

When Leo’s wide-area taunt roar resounded, beast-type monsters swarmed in again.

‘Flame Barrier, Flame Storm, Flame Explosion.’

Jin-su used mage skills and swept away the beast-type monsters in an instant. However, he did not wipe them out completely like before.

“Did you deliberately leave them alive? To test?”

Shin Su-a asked while looking at the beast-type monsters that were surrounded on all sides by the Flame Barrier and could not go anywhere.

“That’s right.”

At the same time as answering, Jin-su deployed the 5 summons made with Army Summon inside the Flame Barrier.

“Krrrr!”

“Kyaaaak!”

The beast-type monsters trapped inside the Flame Barrier immediately revealed ferocity once the enemy appeared.

Thud! Crack!

Soon a fierce battle broke out between the beast-type monsters and Jin-su’s summons.

The result was the summons’ defeat.

“Huh? They lost.”

Shin Su-a said while making an expression as if it was absurd. It seemed she naturally thought Jin-su’s summons would win.

‘It is natural.’

They are summons made with a skill of only level 2. Naturally, it was impossible for them to defeat monsters.

‘Still, they did not get hit powerlessly.’

Because they felt neither pain nor suffering like undead, they fought bravely. What Jin-su wanted to know was whether re-summoning the annihilated summons was possible or impossible.

‘Re-summoning is possible.’

If he only consumed mana, re-summoning was possible. However, it was not unlimited.

‘The white was consumed.’

The moment he tried to re-summon, he could feel that part of the white that is the foundation of the summons was permanently lost.

‘The limit of re-summoning after annihilation will be about three or four times.’

Curiosity arose. After all the summons made with the Reigning Necromancer class are annihilated, will they have the same re-summon count? Or will they each be different?

‘It is fine if I confirm it.’
